flesh & bone


it's okay.
you can tell me if my pride gets in the way.
you can tell me anything.
doesn't mean i'll change.

& just as you hear me say those words
you tell me
"that's why you'll always end up alone."

guess i had that coming.

you never see my heart.
only flesh & bone.

seeds


He said,
"I did everything right.
I painted a picture
& gave her time."

but seeds
become roots
so strong

they grow to be trees

forever.

& forever is much too long.

heartbreak goes like this.


my heart is made of glass
& your love is a stone
bound to shatter and break
as if you came through my window

5.11.2010

the man of my dreams.


when i'm sad
i cry to you
when i'm angry
you take the beating
when i wake
you're still there
you are the essence
of comfortable
i miss you
throughout my day
if i could
i would spend
every minute
of every day
with you

now if only i can find a man
who's more like my pillow...

Sea of You


your name
came up
in conversation
and my heart
screamed out
for mercy

i said
"i can't hold my breath"
yet you still
threw me in

into a sea of you

matters of


my head decides
but my heart refuses
my mouth talks me out of it
my shoulders shrug
and my toes tap
arms cross
my stomach starts to knot
all because

my heart
and my head
can't be friends

4am dream


i guess that i was
looking for magic
its happened too many times
with all the wrong guys
they always want a love
that stays static
but love's the only movement
that i recognize

...but i shouldn't
expect better
at this rate
i'd be lucky
if someone
wanted me
forever...

Rain


rain

i fell asleep with you
&
woke up with you
if i had a boyfriend
i'd consider this an affair

but since i don't
can we do this again?

Julie of my own heart.

"It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one. When I think that its over, that I'll never see him again like this... well yes, I'll bump into him, we'll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we'll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drink up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well. There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses."

- Julie Delpy as Marion in 2 Days in Paris

You've Been Bleeding


bare feet on
broken glass
you have stolen
my heart
and left me
without saying goodbye

you've been bleeding

did i do this to you?

Stars


who needs sleep
when you have the stars
with 10 other bodies
to keep you warm

for i gaze at stars
as if i'm gazing into the eyes
of someone who knows me
better than i know myself

Ramona and Julian know
the secret to it all
the higher you go
the closer you are

so we reach for them
spend all night counting them
lose track of time
but at least it was
time well spent

if every day
could be like that night
i would dream all day
and count stars
all night

We Dreamers


we dreamers
we go unloved
dreaming up more
than we can have
we dreamers
we go unloved
all cause dreams
can't love you back

but we dreamers
we accept our fate
we're not angry
or irate
only content
what is meant
to be
will be

we dreamers
we may not have
arms to hold us
or lips
to kiss us
but in our dreams
we find the
greatest love
ever
and we never
let go

we dreamers
we go unloved
dreaming up more
than we can be
we dreamers
we go unloved
but we know
what we can't have
can be dreamed

Suit Up


there's always a war in my heart
to give in
or fight back
i trust my instinct
but i still wear my armor

no matter what time says
there's no good time
for bloodshed

you're coming closer
so i'll suit up for you
you're coming closer
my arms are ready
to catch me
as I fall

Inside the Mind of an Artist


"Creative people live in a heightened reality," says Gallagher. "The good times feel extra good and the bad times feel extra bad. However, there are plenty of creative people who find other, healthier ways to deal with their emotions."

"Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Jim Morrison, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley, Eddie Van Halen, Cobain, Eminem, members of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Metallica, and many others who heavily influenced their art used drugs and/or alcohol regularly during their creative peak."




I read this article:

and it made me think.
i could kind of relate.
but only in some aspects.

you try.

Why I Love Lyrics.



Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates and adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
For the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood....

I can be
pretty
ugly
tall
short
fat
thin
nice
mean
big
small
little
huge
fine
good
bad
brave
harsh

cold
I can be
a lot of things
to a lot of people

but I

I just want to be anything but commonplace.

Instantaneously


every now and then
i want to see things
happen
the minute they start
i want to see
the result
before it gets hard

But life--
it just doesn't work
that way

does it?

I mean
after all...
Rome wasn't built in a day.

It was him


If there ever was a man
who listened to the way he felt
over the way he thought
or the way others thought

it was him.

no dance moves
no music
like his
could ever come from the head

only the heart

my childhood spent
in a car seat
in the backseat
of my mom's minivan
singing to his tapes
even if I didn't get the words

watching him on tv
wanting to dance
at the age of 3
he's the reason why
i spent hours
in the afternoons
with a remote control hitting
rewind
play
rewind
play
rewind
fast foward
play

watching thriller
when i was in first grade
scared to watch
but still
couldn't take my eyes off

let's remember him for his art
his beautiful
amazing
crazy
out there
uncoverable
art

Slow Motion Scars



no one taught me how to fall
so i'm learning now
i'm finding out it's difficult
to let go
and know

you're gonna crash

but there's that moment
when you've already let go
and you realize
you're mid air
and everything moves so slow
you see everything clear
knowing you've done
the damage
you close your eyes
and await the fate

that moment is my favorite

even if in the end
it leaves me
with a scar

Knees


i need
to say
whatever i'm feeling
my knees
are red
from constant kneeling
below you
i was
but words
pulled me out

these words
are my shoes
walk around
if
you're afraid
i understand
here
take my hand
i'll never save
you
but words
will pull
you out

About Me

My photo
The day my mother gave me wings was the day I started learning how to fly. I'm now realizing that it takes a lifetime to learn how to soar. This is my journey. Well, a part of it.

TWEETS!
